Caesarstone Porcelain Locura
Caesarstone Porcelain Locura
Dark greys blend with warm brown accents, in an intricate array heightened by tiny flecks and oxidisation effects that capture the aesthetic impurities of natural stone, while white organic veins mixed with finer chalky lines give direction and dramatic impact, in a Honed finish.
Diore Ultra worktop joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge. Silicone sealant is applied to prevent water ingression.
Heavily Veined / Particulated Colours
These colours are highly unlikely to have continuous flow of the pattern when 2 sheets or 2 pieces of the same sheet are seamed together. The change of pattern will show up on the seam area
Thermal expansion
Due to thermal expansion Caesarstone Porcelain can expand up to 1mm per metre.
Overhangs and supports
Any overhang extending more than 300mm must be supported.
Upstands
Upstands less than 100mm high are extremely fragile and are not recommended.
Upstands are not normally cut from the same slab as the worksurfaces and therefore an exact colour match is not possible.
Your new Caesarstone Porcelain worktops will need care and maintenance to keep them in good order over the years.
If you choose a polished finish they will be more easy to wipe down when compared to natural finishes which hold dirt more due to the surface texture.
This means Natural Finishes take a little longer to clean than Polished but if you use cleaning information in our Cleaning and Maintenance for Ultra Compact Surfaces Guide (link below) you will be able to remove the most stubborn stains.
However Natural Finishes are more resilient to scratching than polished if objects are dragged across the worktops (which should be avoided).
The best advice is to wipe up spillages when they happen and dry the worktop off with a tea towel,

Scratches
Porcelains are highly scratch resistant but not scratch proof.
Staining
Porcelain worktops are incredibly hard and non-porous and will not absorb liquids, but it is still possible that grease, wine, coffee, nicotine, fruit juices and other strongly coloured substances can stain the surface if not properly protected or if the spills are not cleaned up immediately.
Hygienic
Polished porcelain worktops are naturally hygienic as they are non-porous
Handling
For installation of worktops weighing above 120kg, you will need to supply additional labour at no cost to worktops.net, every additional 75kg requires an extra person to assist with lifting.
UV Resistant
Porcelain is highly resistant to ultra violet (UV) light and will not fade or degrade over time making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications
Durable
Porcelain is one of the most durable worktops, with over 5 times the flexural strength of granite, and a high level of resistance to external aggressions
Heat Resistant
Porcelain is heat resistant, so no need to worry about those hot pots and pans when you are cooking
Easy to Clean
Porcelain has a non-porous surface that prevents dirt and stains from penetrating the material.
Non-Porous
Bacteria and mould have nowhere to take root on porcelain. When it looks clean, it really is clean
